Aiming for Oxbridge or the Ivy League?
Thousands of ambitious students apply to Oxford and Cambridge University in the UK and the Ivy League universities in the US every year. This popularity stems from the academic excellence, incredible facilities and incomparable career prospects they offer their students.
But with this popularity come fierce competition. Ivy League universities have an average acceptance rate of 5.2% and Oxbridge are only slightly higher at 18%.
So what’s involved in the admissions process and what can you do to stand out from the crowd?
For this webinar, we have invited Crimson Strategist & Harvard Alumnus, Julius ZR Wade, and Former Oxford Admissions Officer & Cambridge Alumna, Hannah Rowberry, to join us and let us in on the secrets of admissions.
Both Hannah and Julius have a vast knowledge of top university application systems and know what it takes to get accepted!
You will learn:
- The distinguishing features of top universities in the UK and US
- What type of student Oxbridge are looking for
- Who Ivy League Admissions Officers admit
- A breakdown of the Oxbridge and Ivy League application processes
There will be a live Q&A at the end of this webinar, so bring your questions to the table!
How Crimson can help
Applying to top universities is a difficult and stressful task which is why so many students seek external support.
Each of our programmes are tailored to the student and are delivered by a carefully selected team of mentors who provide focussed support with each and every aspect of the process - from university selection to essay writing and SAT preparation.
By signing up for this webinar you will get a 1:1 university strategy meeting for you and your child with one of our expert Academic Advisors. They will review your child’s academic and extracurricular profile, provide tailored guidance as to suitable university pathways and outline what they need to do to achieve their goals.
